Transfers

Post by Twitch »

Hello

I know of a 35hr job coming up at a local DO and would like to transfer..

But..
I have been told to contact the union to start proceeding's, though I have only been working for RM for 8 weeks and some one else told me I couldn't cause you need to be employed for at least 6 months ??

I'm on a 25hr contract at the mo which was changed from fixed term to permanent two weeks ago.

Anyone know if I can transfer and the best way to do it?

The Job is not on the RM site yet, but spoke to the Dom of the branch and he said contact the union..

Thanks,

How come you were made permanent before the end of your probationary period ?

Thats good but just be aware anyone in that unit gets precedence over you for the job and he is supposed to advertise it in his office as well
